I believe there may be a connection between my Adelaide Petagna and your Amos. I haven't found the name of Amos but I believe that Adelaide's father came to the United States from Italy about 1872. She was born in 1871 and came over as an infant. She married a McLean from Natchez, MS where her father Louis settled. It is said by the family that she was adopted by the Davis family. Lucy

Yes Adelaide was adopted by the Davis family. John Davis born in Sorrento Italy around 1812. Was Adelaide's biological uncle. His birth name was Anthony D'Aversi but he changed it to John Davis when he came to America. John Davis is my gg grandfather.
